Library

A big thank you to Kelly Miller for once again donating craft supplies to the

Children’s Programs at the library. Thank you for always keeping us in mind!

I would further like to thank the following businesses who provided donations in

response to my sponsor letter campaign for our August fundraiser (donations

received by September 25); BC Hydro GMS ($500) and Talisman Energy ($1750).

We had great success in giving quite a few boxes of books new homes at the Fall

Sign-Up Night! Thank you so much to all of you who took some books home to

enjoy and helping to keep them out of the recycle bin! As always, we have many

books that have been deleted from our collection for all different ages and interest

that can also be given a new home by donation here at the library.

We just finished undergoing a lighting upgrade in the Library! Thanks to Shadow

Lighting for completing the upgrade for us. Thank you also to BC Hydro for the

rebate of $1032 and to Community Futures Development Corporation Peace Liard

who gave us a grant for this project in the amount of $3525.75! Our new lights are

much brighter but are less harsh on the eye. Come on in and see for yourself!

On a personal note, I have recently returned from a Tsimshian memorial feast and

totem pole raising in my childhood village of Hartley Bay. I am hoping to put

together a presentation in the next month so that I can share a bit of my culture

and my family history with you. Stay tuned for more information for my

presentation.

Remember, if you have something exciting happening in your life and would like to

share it with our Library patrons and public, come see me at the library and we

would be glad to host your presentation! We love to hear about all of your exciting

adventures all around the world and even close to home.

Come on in to the Library and take a look beyond our new book displays and in to

the stacks for “new to you” books. Check out our current Halloween, autumn and

lost in the stacks displays!

THANKS to everyone who came out and participated and/or donated money for this

year's Terry Fox Run on Sunday Sept. 15th. Together we raised almost $2800 for

cancer research! As far as I know this is a new record for Hudson's Hope. Bonnie

Pringle, by herself, raised over $1200 of that total and is the winner of this year's

'Pledge Sheet Challenge'. Bonnie won a copy of Douglas Coupland's book "Terry".

There were approximately 60 participants in the run this year.

The weather was sunny but not too hot for most of the runners, walkers and

cyclists who completed the 3.7km course. For a few of the more daring competitors,

the sun got a lot hotter as they continued running or walking laps.

Bonnie Pringle & Greta Goddard - 2 laps each

Paul Reed- 3 laps (tied previous record)

Luke Hubner (age 10)- 4 laps! New record! That's almost 15kms!

Rurik Hubner (Luke's Dad)- 4 laps!

Thanks to the following people:

Race volunteers Bill Lindsay, Lenore Harwood and Jenn Meleschuk.

HH RCMP- Andrew McElwain

HH Fire Dept- Derrek Beam

Hope to see everybody out again next year!

It's time for Fire Prevention Week, from October 6-12 Hudson’s Hope Fire Rescue

is joining forces with the non-profit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to

remind local residents to ‘Prevent Kitchen Fires.' During this year's fire safety

campaign, fire departments will be spreading the word about the dangers of

kitchen fires--most of which result from unattended cooking—and teaching local

residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place.

According to the latest NFPA research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires.

Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen—more than any other place in

the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries.

Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing:

Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food.

If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove.

When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in

the home, and use a timer to remind you.

If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible.

Keep children and pets at least three away from the stove.

When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves.

Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels,

and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop.

Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops.

Question? Nedra 250-783-8923


The Hudson's Hope School Terry Fox Run was a huge

success. This year we also did a "Terry Fox Challenge"

week. Students received punch cards to keep track of how

many laps they could do around the school. It was very

encouraging to see so many students participating. Our

students have travelled over 400km! Thank you very much

to the parents who came and joined us for this fun and

worthy activity.

The Family Barbeque Evening was a fantastic event for our school. We set a

new record, and served over 150 burgers (and of course hot dogs, salads, and

much more). It was an enjoyable evening to connect and reconnect with students

and parents. Our Foods class, as well as numerous young volunteers (and

Ms. Ackroyd) did an outstanding job of preparing, serving, and cleaning up

afterwards. A big thank you to all the folks for joining us.

Student Leaders & Work Experience: Did you know that because we have a

school with levels from "Strongstart" age (0-5 years) to Grade 12, our secondary

students provide enhanced learning opportunities to our younger grades? We

currently have 12 students who teach sports-related skills, and support academic

learning to all of our younger grades. We even have secondary students who

volunteer their time on a daily basis. Our older students are making a positive

difference in our school, not only by mentoring, but also by being fantastic role

models. Keep up the great work!

Guest of Honour: The Lieutenant Governor of B.C. (Judith Guichon) will be

coming to visit our school on October 4th. We are all very excited with the

opportunity to provide a tour of our school, and show how valuable an "All Grade"

rural school is to our province.

Congratulations to our new Jr. Volunteer Firefighters:

Beryl Prairie Hall: Misato Kondo

Downtown Hall: Joel Tichonow, Justin Brown & Christopher Fequet

These students will be learning valuable firefighting and rescue service, as well as

gaining work experience time towards Graduation. Hudson's Hope School is proud

to have such fine representatives volunteering in the community. Thank you very

much to our local volunteer firefighters for giving our students the opportunity to

learn more about supporting their community.

District of Hudson’s Hope

Council News Volunteer of the Year

Hudson’s Hope runs on volunteers. Our town would be a much less active and less happy place without the many, many volunteers that

make things happen. A heartfelt thanks to all of you. Congratulations to Shane and Barb Frocklage on being presented with Hudson’s Hope 2013 Volunteer of the Year Award. Week in, week out, with little fanfare, Frocklages have quietly made sure that the ice and the curling rink itself are ready and waiting when the curlers show up on Friday nights. Without them, there would be no curling. Thank you.

Each year the names of the recipients are added to a Volunteer of the Year Plaque which can be seen at the District Office. In addition, one thousand dollars is given to the organiza-tion of the recipients’ choice. Shane and Barb have chosen to donate their award to the “Friends of Hudson’s Hope Society.” Thank you, Shane & Barb

Ambulance Service

Ambulance service in Hudson’s Hope is not adequate. We are all agreed on that. In trying to track down how we’ve come to this situation and what solutions might be possible, here is what I’ve found: Hudson’s Hope isn’t alone. Small communities across BC are in the same boat. The population is aging but fewer paramedics are available, especially in rural communities. BC

Ambulance Service remains responsible for providing coverage for all the province but starting ten years ago, their business model changed and has become more suitable for

cities and larger towns and less so for small communities. Old System: Attendants needed Class 3 First Aid and a

Class 4 Driver’s license. In Hudson’s Hope, people got those qualifications and joined the ambulance service to help their community. Once part of the volunteer squad, BC Ambulance would pay for upgrading their training if they wanted to do that. They could stay in the community while receiving the training. New System: BC Ambulance increased training requirements

but they took away the paid training and the local upgrading. An attendant now has to leave the community for 9 months minimum, and must pay for the training himself. When attendants are on standby, they get only $2.00 per hour. If they respond to a call, they are paid a higher rate. There are not many call-outs in a small community like Hudson’s Hope. In the ten years since this new system was

introduced, the paramedics who trained under the old system are retiring. The new ones coming out of the “pay your own way” training system go where they can earn a reasonable living – in an urban center where there are more calls, or to industry, where they are on salary. Result: there just are not enough qualified ambulance attendants in rural BC to staff rural communities. The same shortages we see here are found across the province.

Every time there is a crisis, a blitz is made to get more volunteers. In the past, that has


District of Hudson’s Hope

Council News helped for a short time but it tapers off and we’re soon in the same boat. Reality: If the system stays the same, the situation

will only get worse. We have to change the system. A Solution: Most other provinces have some variation of a system called “Community Paramedicine.” Ambulance attendants are employed full time in rural areas and do more than respond to emergencies. Duties vary according to community, but could include preliminary care assessments, diabetes clinics, home visits, or

whatever fits the needs of a particular place. The system has worked very well in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Proponents say that while costs of the paramedic program increases, the community care they provide reduces health care costs overall. If that is the case, there is a strong business case to be made for community paramedicine. You can find more information by searching Community Paramedicine on the internet or by visiting www.apbc.ca/cp

What Council is Doing: I’ve met with or written to BC Ambulance, BC Paramedics & Dispatchers Association, Northern Health, Minister of Health, MLA Pimm, and representatives of several small communities who have similar problems. All bodies appear to be agreed that some form of community paramedicine is the goal. Getting there requires some changes to legislation, some agreements with affected groups, and

some creative thinking. That will take time and can be seen as the “long term goal.” We

will work with other small communities to make sure it is a coordinated effort. We will also engage local industry in the effort, using the same committee structure that was suc-cessful in providing Hudson’s Hope with a full-time physician.

In the short term, we will continue to remind BC Ambulance of their mandate to supply service to small as well as large communities, and we will push to ensure that Hudson’s Hope receives adequate coverage while we await permanent change to the system. Your Part: Many thanks to all of you who have called or written MLA Pimm’s office. It has raised the

profile of the issue with his office and gives him ammunition to push his government to improve service. Please continue.

On August 25th, 2013 police were requested to assist Hudson’s Hope Fire and

Rescue where they needed assistance rescuing a dog that had wandered or fell off a

cliff that was 50 feet above the Peace River. The RCMP were able to rescue the dog

with their pretty jet boat. The dog was fine and just needed a drink of water.

On August 25th, 2013 police were called to a theft of a jerrycan of gasoline. Police

were able to locate the three youth involved and they were brought to the

complaints residence where they apologized for what they did and the jerrycan of

gasoline was brought back.

On August 30th, 2013, police were called to investigate a suspicious looking vehicle

at the Bennett Dam as the Security Ninja’s did not know where the owner had

disappeared to. The police were called off just prior to attendance as the Security

Ninja’s had located the owner and all was well.

On August 30th, 2013 police were notified of a scam that had happened to a

residence of Hudson’s Hope. The scam involves people calling as lawyers from a

different country saying a loved one his hurt, injured or in trouble with their

countries laws. The scammers are looking for money to be wired to them in order

to release the loved one. More often than not the scammers want this to stay

under the radar and not to notify anyone. If you receive a call similar to this find a

way to contact your loved one and verify if they are in the said country. The main

audience for these types is elderly, grandparents, as they try to pray on their

trusting nature.

On August 31st, 2013 police were called to a motor vehicle accident by the post

office. A group of tourists were travelling through Hudson’s Hope when they were

waiting for their GPS unit to advise them to turn near the Fast Gas toward Fort St

John. When the GPS unit did not tell them the turn the tourist followed the

instructions and drove into the ditch. The vehicle ended up on the roof, and no one

was injured. Please use common sense people, if the road is going to end please

make the appropriate turn….. Enough said?

On September 1st, 2013 police were called to an overturned canoe in the Peace

River. Due to the current and some areas of the river that are hazardous, police

rescued the people who were trying to enjoy the Peace River. No one was injured,

their canoe was saved but they lost their lunch.

On September 1st, 2013 police were notified of a tanker truck roll over on the Core

Road. The truck was not damaged and neither was the driver. Due to the tanker

R C M P


not being damaged there was no danger to the surrounding area. The vehicle was

cleaned up and removed in short order.

On September 3rd, 2013 police were notified of 5 hunting cabins on the Twelve Mile

road that were broken into. Police would ask that the public check on their hunting

or seasonal cabins to ensure nothing was taken.

On September 7th, 2013 police were called to a domestic assault in town. Police

located the accused and the accused was held in custody until court on Monday

morning. The matter is still before the courts.

On September 9th, 2013 police were called to a physical and verbal disagreement

between two parties. It turned out the disagreement was over equipment and both

people agreed to fight one another. No charges were filed as both people willingly

entered into fighting one another. Male bravado at its best.

On September 14th, 2013 police were called to a traffic hazard on the road way.

After speaking to the complainant the hazard was the Cops for Cancer Tour De

North. The tour de north was comprised of 30 cyclists with multiple pilot vehicles

to steer traffic away from them. The complainant was educated that the tour de

north had followed all the proper requirements. Then the tour de north had fajitas

at the detachment.

On September 19th, 2013 police were made aware of a small green sedan being

involved in an armed robbery in a neighboring detachment area. Hudson’s Hope

police were called to a small green sedan parked in the middle of the Highway by

halfway river bridge. Members attended the area as a high risk event in case it was

the same small green sedan from the robbery. It turned out the vehicle was not

the sedan used in the armed robbery but it was uninsured and had a flat tire. The

vehicle was towed to Fort St John, and the Registered Owner is getting one hefty

ticket and tow bill.


On September 22nd, 2013 a concerned resident found a 410 shotgun lying out near

the 400 road. The shotgun was given to the Hudson’s Hope RCMP who are

attempting to locate the owner.

On September 22nd, 2013 police were notified of trail cameras being stolen from the

complainants’ property where he was hoping to shoot an elk. If anyone has any

information regarding trail camera’s being taken or people with newish trail cam-

eras please contact the Hudson’s Hope RCMP or Crime stoppers if you wish to re-

main anonymous.

On September 22nd, 2013 Hudson's Hope RCMP became aware of a giant Monarch

Butterfly attacking Boynton Street. This Monarch Butterfly was multi color and was

hovering over Boynton Street for the better part of 4 hours. After some time the

Monach Butterfly touched down on someone's lawn. (There was a 4 foot Monarch

Butterfly kite stuck on a power line, the line frayed and it came down and was de-

livered to the rightful owner.)

On September 24th, 2013 police were called to service for speeders along the Beryl

Prairie Road early in the morning and around the dinner hour. Police are planning

to conduct additional patrols in that area, so if you have a lead foot and you want a

ticket continue to speed because we will find you. If you do not want a ticket, then

slow down for everyone’s safety as there are kids on the road waiting for their bus

to pick them up. Also the speed limit is put there for a reason; IT IS NOT a sugges-

tion…. See you on the road.

The Site C Clean Energy Project is currently undergoing a cooperative environ-

mental assessment by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEA

Agency) and the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO), which includes a

Joint Review Panel process.

BC Hydro filed its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in January 2013 as part of

this process and in August 2013, the CEA Agency and the BCEAO determined that

BC Hydro's amended EIS was satisfactory. BC Hydro has now entered the Joint Re-

view Panel stage.

BC Hydro is continuing to conduct environmental and engineering field studies on

and around the Peace River between the Williston Reservoir and the Alberta border

to inform detailed mitigation planning, prepare project permits, and ensure informa-

tion is gathered with respect to monitoring programs proposed in the EIS.

This notice provides a list of field work planned for October 2013. Helicopters may

be required for some of the work listed below. Current and previous field study ac-

tivities are available at bchydro.com/sitec and in the Community Consultation

offices in Fort St. John and in the Pearkes Centre in Hudson’s Hope.

Regular and ongoing BC Hydro work may also be taking place on the Peace River

and tributaries related to BC Hydro’s Peace River water licence requirements or

other operations work.

Peace Fish & WildliFe coMPensation PrograM seeks a Public board MeMber

The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) in the Peace region is currently seeking a Public Representative to partici-

pate on the FWCP-Peace Board for a three-year term, starting November 1, 2013.

The FWCP is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., First Nations, and local community members, to conserve and

enhance fish and wildlife affected by the creation of BC Hydro-owned and operated generation facilities in the Coastal, Columbia and

Peace regions of British Columbia. FWCP-Peace operates within the watersheds of the Williston and Dinosaur reservoirs, funding fish

and wildlife compensation projects for the existing Peace River BC Hydro facilities.

Board members are drawn from the full range of communities with a connection to these watersheds and provide oversight to

program planning and implementation, including the approval of all project work. We are seeking a responsible and capable

person committed to fish, wildlife and environmental sustainability in the Program area, who will offer a regional perspective on

FWCP issues in carrying out the duties of a Board member. Qualified individuals, committed to supporting thriving and sustainable

watersheds, and representing a broad range of interests, are invited to apply, or be nominated by a community group.

For more information on the FWCP, please visit fwcp.ca. For a full Application Package, please email [email protected]. Application deadline is October 11, 2013.



A funding review committee, independent of the regula-

tory process, will consider all applications for funding

and make recommendations on the allocation of funds.

Funding applications can be submitted beginning now

until 30 days before the oral hearing. The hearing date

has not yet been set, as an application has not yet been

filed. When the NEB sets a hearing date, that infor-

mation will be made public. Funding will only be

awarded for hearing related activities conducted after

your PFP application has been approved. Please review

the Participant Funding Program Guide to determine

when and how to apply for funding and what funding

will cover.

Interested persons are encouraged to review information

on the proposed project before submitting an application.

This information, as well as the Participant Funding Pro-

gram Guide, the Application for Funding Form and the

Contribution Agreement can be found on the Board’s web-

site (www.neb-one.gc.ca) under Public Participation.

The NEB will be hosting public information sessions

about the NEB’s role as a regulator for this Project, its

public hearing process and participant funding.

The National Energy Board (NEB, or the Board) is making

available $250,000 under its Participant Funding Program

to assist directly affected persons to participate in the

regulatory process of the Nova Gas Transmission Ltd.

(NGTL) North Montney project.

NGTL intends to seek Board approval to construct and

operate a 305 km of pipeline in northeast British Co-

lumbia, along with associated metering facilities, valve

sites and possible compression facilities. The potential

natural gas pipeline, referred to as the North Montney

Mainline, will consist of two sections, Aitken Creek and

Kahta. It will connect with the existing Groundbirch

Mainline (Saturn Section), located about 35 km south-

west of Fort St. John and will continue about 187 km

northwest of Fort St. John.

Funds will be made available to help persons who

are directly affected or have relevant information or

expertise review and comment on a project application

to be submitted by NGTL. Funding must be used to

prepare for and participate in the hearing process, which

will be announced by the Board at a later date.

To receive funding, all approved recipients will be re-

quired to apply to participate and be granted inter-

venor status in the NEB’s regulatory process for this

project.
